'I'm not a con artist, I didn't con people': Katy Perry says she's evolved in her image and career <br />Katy Perry continues to make revelations at a breakneck pace as she promotes her latest album, Witness. <br />The 32-year-old songstress on Wednesday opened up to The New York Times about how she's evolved from the pop queen behind top 40 hits such as I Kissed A Girl and Hot N Cold to a deeper, more nuanced artist - to the chagrin of some. <br />'They want you to stand for something, but once you do, and if you don't do it perfectly, they're ready to take you right down,' Perry told the newspaper. <br />The Swish Swish singer said she 'didn't kill' off her former image, because she loves that identity, and it was 'exactly what' she had to do at the time. <br />'I'm not a con artist, I didn't con people, like, that was just me,' Perry said. 'And this is me now ... it's a departure, and it's a necessary evolution that I have to take.' <br />Perry said she's resistant to those who think she should continue down the pop path without any regards to growing as an artist. <br />---------------------------------------------------------------- <br />Song: DEAF KEV - Invincible [NCS Release] <br />Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds. <br />Watch: https://youtu.be/9iHM6X6uUH8 <br />Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/LinkYO
